Ayibobo is a band from New York City, United States that is Jean-Paul Bourelly's side project.
[6][7] The band released their first album Freestyle in 1993, produced by Jean-Paul Bourelly and Kazunori Sugiyama.
[8] The Wire magazine said that on the album Bourelly "immersed his wonderfully jarring, new-Hendrix sound in the chants and polyrhythms of non-geographically specific Africa.
It’s tightly played and well recorded, occasionally hinting at some new kind of psychedelic funk, but you can't help wishing Bourelly would step out and wail like we know he can.
[11] It is composed of live recordings of a concert spanning five nights performed in August 2001 in Berlin, Germany.
